The strangest things happen!

Well now , we decided to feed the birds . Seems so innocent ! At first we attracted the cute little Chicadees in the winter , they were so cute ! We thought awww,.... this is going to be fun ! The cat loves to watch from her place in the window and it's cute to listen to the chick a dee dee sounds that they make.

Then we had the idea to put peanuts in the feeder to attract bluejays! Oh they are pretty ! But oh my goodness are they ever a greedy bird ! They will come and take every peanut and push the other seeds from the feeder to get to them . They take one and fly away and place it under a leaf on the ground for later and keep coming back until they are all gone. Then they sit a do this SQUAK! sound that screeches. The peanuts have to stop ! Where are my little chick a dees !

Cute birds , we have a family of them now , How lucky is that!

But wait now , What is that???

That sure is the strangest bird !! I decided to take out the peanuts and put some really nice seed in the feeder for some cute little quiet birds . I made sure the sides of the feeder was low enough that the Bluejays couldn't swipe everything out. Now the squirrel is climbing inside the feeder through this small opening and eating all the sunflower seeds.

What am I to do !

Now my little birdfeeder sits empty ! This little creature climbs the tree next to my apartment building , jumps from the top branches to the apartment above me and climbs down to my feeder. The lady who lives above me has small children and leaves her door open on her deck for the kids to come and go . I heard screams and running the other day and thought " boy the kids are really active today" Low and behold , they had a squirrel visit!

So goes my story about my bird feeding ! Now there is a racoon in the compost bin , question is , "Who takes the compost out tonight "?
